Human Services
$6,766,500 83 grants
In 2017, the Foundation prioritized nimble, timely public policy analysis and advocacy grants in response to growing threats to the social safety net in both Washington and Columbus. This included deploying grants through a Rapid Response Fund, where funds were available in real time to keep pace with the constantly evolving efforts to cut and/or fundamentally alter the structure of public investments in basic human needs bolstering the poorest and most vulnerable citizens in Cleveland, Ohio, and across the country. Support for the healthy development of under resourced children remained a high priority and was reflected in support for major initiatives, including First Year Cleveland, a community-wide initiative to reduce Cleveland’s unacceptably high rate of infant mortality. Work continued and grew around critically needed justice system reforms for both youth and adults. The Ohio Transformation Fund (a collaboration with national and local funders and key reform-focused nonprofit partners aimed at reducing mass incarceration and racial disparities in Ohio’s criminal justice system) accelerated efforts to propel a statewide justice system reform ballot issue for the November 2018 ballot in Ohio. Encouraging progress was made to interrupt the state’s school-to-prison pipeline through state legislation reforms and early stages of bail reform was advanced in Cuyahoga County, aided by the rigorous data analysis and advocacy of grantees. Support continued for health care reforms. Human services grantmaking totaled $6,766,500.
